A water container is in the shape of a triangular prism. The diagrams show the container and
its cross-section. The cross-section of the water in the container is an isosceles triangle ABC, with
angle ABC = angle BAC = 30°. The length of AB is x and the depth of water is h. The length of the
container is 5.

(i) Show that x = 2 3 h and hence find the volume of water in the container in terms of h. [3]
